  5. What is XA Release 7? Java Architecture User Interface

  6. What is XA Release 7? Powerful Functional Enhancements ..now and in the future

  7. What is XA Release 7? New Applications • Lean Execution and Planning (LEAP) • Integrates Lean execution with MO’s or REP schedules • Infor Supply Web • Electronic Supplier Communications • Infor Enterprise Asset Management • Leverage Infor’s Solution Library

  8. Agenda • What is XA Release 7? • What are the improvements? • Summary

  10. What are the improvements? • Easy Access to Information improves decision making • Improved Application Functionality • Enhance XA to meet your specific needs • Connectivity and collaboration beyond your walls

  11. Quick change Graph cards Compound cards Presentation schemes Subset tip text Cascading subsets Power expand URL & e-Mail buttons Attachment count Column statistics User definition favorites Express customization Logical field tip text Change templates Code files delete Auto logoff Auto key generation Open action Workspaces Easy Access to Information

  12. Express customization • Change columns or subsets with a couple clicks

  13. Power Expand • Expand n levels • Auto expand on open • No more clicking plus signs over and over

  14. Open Action • Double-click an object to ‘open’ it • Any navigation or maintenance action • Can set Alt-open and Crtl-open, too

  15. Compound card layouts

  16. Compound Card Layouts

  17. Highlight Exception Items • Color based on subset criteria • Can do more than one at a time

  18. Graph Cards • Graph data on a card • Pie charts, bar charts, stacked bar… • Multiple fields, multiple records • Drill down to supporting data • Customize subsets, sorts, max number

  19. Column Totals and Statistics

  20. Quick Change

  21. Open Action

  22. Logical Field tip text • Description of calculation • “Not obvious” ones • Words plus numeric values for this object

  23. Logical field tip text ?

  24. Logical field tip text ?

  25. Logical field tip text

  26. Multi-select Delete

  27. Output & Notification • Print spool (always) • Save to PC file • Text, HTML, PDF • Notify via e-mail • Send output as attachment via e-mail • Some MAPICS objects allow distribution

  28. Report output Two new cards Typical report

  29. Notification Include variables in subject or body. Send notification to yourself or someone else

  30. Report output Save as PC-compatible file You can save without sending, and vice versa. Send as an attachment

  31. Send to… • Like Local Print attached to e-mail • Creates PC-compatible file

  32. All Available over the Internet

  33. Proactive Notification with Alerts PO P012345 for $11,283.19 needs approval

  34. 2. Improved Application Functionality • R7 Essentials is the platform for enhancing core applications (EPDM, PM, IFM, etc) • R7 is the platform for integration to Infor Extensions

  35. Item Availability Order copy Features & Options Kitting End Order statistics Commission maintenance CA+ Integration Additional maintenance Salesreps Unit of Measure Conversion Standing Orders Copy from History Can delete multiple detail records CSM – COM Equivalence

  36. EPDM – PDM Equivalence • Feature/Option inquiry • EPDM Control File (Application Settings) • Host jobs • Cost generation • Roll Current to Standard • Migrate Engineering Data (PDM to EPDM) • Activate EPDM • Activate APC • Table maintenance • Labor Overhead • Purchase Overhead

  37. EPDM – New features • Recost affected assemblies (selective run) • Cost simulation object • Costed indented bill inquiry

  38. Initiate costing run from the client • Host job from Site or Item Revision • Include affected assemblies Affected Assemblies Where used Recosting this… …automatically recosts these

  39. Cost Simulation object • Multiple runs • Unrestricted choice of parameters (vs. green screen) • Results saved • Results visible via UI (vs. printout)

  40. Simulation results Default: • Sort by variance • Variance not zero

  41. Results at total item level… …and by cost element… …and by summary.

  42. Simulation choices Facility values Overhead code What if you want to simulate… • Increased steel and overhead cost? • All that with possible new labor contracts? --- OR --- • Material --- OR --- • Material by Item Class • Facility percents

  43. Simulation parameters

  44. Simulation parameters

  45. Simulation parameters

  46. Summaries are easy to set up

  47. L/O Table by site • Labor/Overhead tables by Site • Previously was in SYSCTL • Common to all sites • If not common to all sites… • Be careful when copying across sites • Can have more codes • Field changed to alphanumeric (36 characters)
